 Optical Fiber – Emerging Business Cases and Challenges:

K -FON (Kerala Fiber Optic Network) Heading the game

 

Renewable energy and energy-efficient electric devices disrupt the existing business model of electricity boards. As a result, the electricity board will have more difficulty achieving profitability and revenue goals.

Thus, the Electricity boards are changing their objective as power distribution and supply companies and a core and middle-mile, last-mile infrastructure (information highway).

State Electricity Board of Kerala state India with creating fiber-optic information highway using the power distribution passive infrastructure of state electricity board is a massive step towards this strategy step.

Better power supply and New Revenue stream

The fiber-optic network provides instant feedback and real-time data sharing between plants, substations, and offices. As a result, improved response times to issues, thus more excellent reliability and resiliency across the power grid.

Optical fiber infrastructure also offers a new avenue of revenue for electricity boards


Creating connected communities

A national power highway connectivity changes the state economy and enhances many governance parameters, including healthcare, education, e-governance, and employment generation. Let us look at K FON's objectives.

Challenges for Maintaining Fiber Optic Networks

As an Infrastructure service provider, managing and maintaining a fiber-optic network is not easy.

From certifying and installing the proper gear to quickly resolving issues when they arise, Infrastructure Providers will first need to determine their level of involvement with these networks. 

Suppose they plan to maintain the physical infrastructure and lease or wholesale fibers to others. In that case, they will still need to deploy the proper support required to ensure the integrity and continuity of fibers for their customers. This will require managing adequate service personnel (internal or external staff).

Infrastructure service providers need to think about Robotic Process Automation in cable Maintenance activity.

A Major Opportunity: Robo Technician for Cable management

Mobile back haul technology Trade-Offs  and Cablesmith Approach Thanks to the information superhighway, mobile revolution and smarter technologies, we are living in a digital world where everything is connected and hence can be digitally activated world, is literally at our fingertips. The data boom that ensued has resulted in the transformation of certain technologies. One such example is the shift of interest from macro cell towers to small cells with a focus on indoor coverage and capacity as 80% of data traffic is generated indoors. What are small cells? Small cells, a growing technology, are low powered Radio Access Nodes that has a network range of 10 meters to a few hundred meters depending on the output power and frequency. The value of small cell market was $10.35 billion in 2016 and shot up to $12.5 billion in 2017. According to industry prediction, the small cell market will have a rapid growth, projecting a market of $58.7 billion by 2024. Why are the advantage...
